PAPAR: More than 1,000 residents in Mukim Kaiduan are now benefitting from 16 completed development projects under the Kampung Angkat Madani (KAM) programme this year.

The Federal initiative, introduced last year, aims to close the development gap between rural and urban communities by funding vital infrastructure and facilities.

Under the programme, each ministry adopts one rural village annually, with RM107 million allocated to implement KAM projects in 43 selected locations nationwide.

Papar MP Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, who is also Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, said RM2.5 million was spent on projects in Mukim Kaiduan through close collaboration between his ministry, the Sabah State Development Office, and the District Office.

The projects include new bridges, road upgrades, improved places of worship and community spaces, and solar-powered streetlights across Kampung Kaiduan, Kampung Bisuang, and Kampung Bolotikon.
